Questions Answered.

n. H., BURLINGTON. There are probably
war of 1912 now living in Vermont. Twenty
eight names of such pensioners were on the
pension roll at Concord last July as resid-
ing in Vermont.
e. w. p, FREETowN, MAss.-This CORE
spondent was a general in the Union army
during the rebellion, and since the war has
written and published several volumes
of local history and other works. He says
he forwarded one or two books to the YER
mont Historical Society long time ago, but
never heard whether they were received or
pleased to give this society, if such works
are cared for by them. He would like to
correspond with some officer interested in
such matters. His address is General T..
w. Pierce Freetown, Mass.
l. II. N, GRoToN.-This correspondent
states that an illegitimate child enlisted as
a soldier before he was of age and that at
the time of his enlistment gave deed of all
his property, together with his interest in all
bounty and pension that might be due him
for his service in the army The mother Of
the soldier is now supported by the town,
and the question has been raised whether
the town or the neighbor to whom the sol
der sold his right to pension is entitled to
the pension now. 1nSCer- Neither the
town nor the neighbor can obtain apension.
Pensions are granted by law, and cannot
be assigned or transferred in any way. II
anybody is entitled to pension, it would be
the soldiers mother.

perils it is exposed, the need of its be-
ing kept in healthy, vigorous tone, is
obvious. AS the delicate, feeble phys
ical frame is especially exposed to dis
ease, so the feeble, sickly spiritual life
is in special danger of being overcome
by the temptations of the world. Ex-
posures to disease that the vigorous
constitution will meet unframed will
successfully assail the weak. Tempta-
tions to evil that those with abundant
spiritual life resist without injury seri-
ously imperil the feeble in spiritual at
tainments. The times are presenting
many conspicuous examples of those
who, protesting a spiritual life, have
1t so feebly developed, so little of a
healthy, vigorous tone, that it is over
come by the deceitfulness of riches,
the pride of life and lust of other
things. In the exigencies of life it is
found wanting and Christ is BETRAYED
in the house of his friends. To happi-
ness and efficiency in spiritual life in
these days it must be vigorous and
abundant.

Stray Shots.

IT is expected that the Vermont Soldiers
Home will be ready to receive inmates about
the first of April next
A SOLDIERS home was dedicated at De-
trOt, Mich, December 80. 1t cost 100000
and starts with $50 veterans, with capacity
for 400.
THE trustees of the soldiers home in
PENNSYLVANIA have let contract for
doubling the capacity of the home at an ex-
pense of 100000.
Mr.. DEAvITT of Montpelier recently re-
ceived "A letter from an old soldier, asking
his opinion whether he thought he could
get pension for him, which ended thus:
81 will not give my name until | hear from
you"
JAMES e. CURRAN, the special examiner
of the pension office, has had Franklin
county assigned to his district, which gives
him about one-half of the state for his
district. He has twenty-nine cases now on
hand for investigation for pensions.
Mr.. ANDERSON, the United States pension
agent at Augusta, Me, recently received a
letter from pensioner like this: Dear
Sir. Send me pension voucher, as | have
lost mine. Yours truly, John -. p. S.
DO not send the voucher l have just found
mine"
RICHARD CURTIS, arrested at New Haven,
Ct, recently for Withholding his pension
papers, is receiving pension of S24 a
month for the loss of a leg. When he
walked into the commissioners Office on
both legs he was asked to explain how he
got the lost leg back, and he replied: " did
not find if, for l did not lose it. The doctor
made mistake in my application for pen
sion, that's ALL" 1t is to be decided
whether Curtis lost his leg while fighting
for the Union or fighting for pension.

Spiritual Growth.

Charles Kingsley has said: {" If tree
is not growing it is sure, in the long
run, to be dying" And so are our
souls. If they are not growing they
are dying; if they are not getting bet
ter they are getting worse. This is
why the Bible compares our souls to
trees; not out of a mere pretty fancy of
poetry, but for a great, deep, worldwide
lesson, that every tree in the field may
be pattern, warning to us thought
less men, that as that tree is meant to
grow, so our souls are meant to grow
As that tree dies unless it grows, so the
souls spiritual life must die unless it
grows. The importance of having a
vigorous spiritual life, and of having it
abundantly, was ably enforced in one
of our city pulpits on late Sabbath.
1t being generally admitted that there
is spiritual life, and that it is capa-
BILE of growth, a moments reflection
upon what spiritual life is, and to what

We are not all sure that the mere
study of science leads to reverence
much less TO piety-unless these quail
tiles are already implanted in the soul.
But when they are so planted there is
no doubt, whatever, of the effect of
such studies, as Professor A. A. Hodge
testifies in the following incident.
When boy in Princeton College it
was my inestimable privilege to be the
pupil assistant of Professor Joseph
Henry, the illustrious Christian scien-
fist, in his original experiments. When
for the first time electric signals were
sent from point to point, the earth itself
being used for the return current.
Professor Henry put me at one end of
the circuit, while he stood directing the
experiments at the other. / can well
remember the wonderful care with
which he arranged all his principal ex-
periments; when he approached the
solution, the experiment was repeated
and repeated over and over again. and
all its variable conditions altered and
recombined in every form. Then
often, when the testing moment came, ;.
that good man and wise philosopher
would raise his hand in adoring rever-
ence, and call upon me to uncover my
head and worship in silence, because, =
he said, God is here. / am about to
ask God question. ''-Erchange.

The Bible and the Sermon.

The word "pulpit," like ferry
boat " and outlandish women" oc-
ours only once in the Bible. 1t was
Ezra that was in the pulpit; but we
presume it was more platform than
pulpit, and there were thirteen men
besides Ezra, or, rather, twenty-six
people Ezra and his twenty-siX asso-
ciates were not concealed behind box
pulpit, or one that had fence about it.
When Nehemiah read the law of Moses
he did not lay the book on great desk
in front of him, but he stood out on
the platform and held the roll in his
hand and read from it. When he got
tired there were dozen other priests
all ready to take the book from his
hands. We are told one most impor-
tant thing about Ezra's reading. He
60 read distinctly and gave the sense,
so that they understood the reading"
That was remarkably fine reading. His
enunciation was good; but that was not
near enough. He read so as to give the
sense, and so that the hearers could
understand. Good reading of the Scrip
lures is rare but most important art.
1t will interest the people wonderfully
if it be fresh and intelligent. Ezra read
so well that the people would not let
him stop, but kept him at it six hours.
Think of that for single service-from
six in the morning till noon, and all
the time spent in hearing one read the
Bible who knew how to give the sense.
Very few ministers give pains enough
to reading the Bible in church. The
Bible should be read slowly. Then the
reader should put his whole heart into
it. He should have read the passage
over dozen times before attempting
it in public. He should make as seri-
Gus business of reading the Bible in
public as he does of preaching his SER
mon. 1t is more important that the
Bible should have its effect than the
sermon. Then let the preacher, if need
be, spend little less time reading over
his own sermon so as to get it familiar,
and spend more time over his Scrip
ture.-Ne,C York Independent.

the army. In that debate Senator Ed
munds stated the law of the case so
ably and correctly that we print the fol-
lowing extract from his speech: eve
have now got two questions. The first
is whether ii is right to give pension
to dependent step-mother of soldier
who came into her family, or she came
into his, when he was mere infant,
and who stood as mother to him in all
the early years of his life. That the
senate has settled, congress has settled
and the President has settled over and
over again; and, as this report says,
the sole ground on which the pension
Office rejected this claim-and it was
legal ground, and the pension Office
could not help twas that the law did
not provide for mothers who stood IN loco
parents by law, by the fact of having
married the father of this child instead
of being the natural and actual mother
of this soldier boy" On the question
of dependence, Mr. Edmunds said
The statutes of the United States, if
/ remember them correctly, on the sub
ject of pensions to dependent parents,
treating this old lady as dependent
parent, are that if the parent were de-
pendent upon the soldier in whole or in
part-I think that is the language and
/ am right-then the party is entitled to
pension. Now what do we find? We
find that this family-the father and the
mother-with another family growing
up of three, four, five or six children,
were in possession of piece of real es-
tate in village that could be appraised
at $4,000. There would be the cottage
and the little garden of an eighth or a
quarter of an acre. But where is the
bread to come from, the father being
feeble and sickly, as is stated? The boy
that this mother had brought up had
gone to the war, and he knew and felt
that the family could not get on, and so
he sent back his wages as a soldier, and
his bounty and so on, to keep his father
and mother, and his half-brothers and
half-sister from starvation. If that is
not a case of dependence in part, al
though they had piece of ground and
a roof over their heads that was worth
$4,000, then / do not know what is"
The bill was passed by the senate with
only eight dissenting votes.

Halls Catarrh Cure.

There is more catarrh in this section
of the country than all other diseases
put together, and until the last few
years was supposed to be incurable
For great many years doctors pro-
nounced it a local disease and pre-
scribed local remedies, and by con-
stantly failing to cure with local treat
ment pronounced it incurable. Science
has proven catarrh to be a constiu-
tional disease and therefore requires a
Constitutional treatment. Halls Catarrh
Cure, manufactured by F. J. Cheney &
Co., Toledo, Ohio, is the only constitu-
tional cure now on the market. 1t is
taken internally in doses from ten
drops to tea-spoonful. 1t acts directly
upon the blood and mucus surfaces of
the system. They offer one hundred
dollars for any case it fails to cure.

Heaven.

Beyond these chilly winds and gloomy skies,
Beyond Deaths cloudy portal,
There is a land whose beauty never dies
And love becomes immortal.
A land whose light is never dimmed by shade,
Whose fields verna;
Where nothing beautiful can ever fade,
But blooms for aye-eternal.
We may not know how sweet its bamy air,
How bright and fair its flowers;
We may not hear the songs that echo there
Through those enchanted bowers.
The city's shining towers we may not see
with cur dim, earthly vision;
For Death, the silent warder, keeps the key
That opes the gate elysian.
But sometimes, when adown the western sky
The fiery sunset fingers,
Its golden gates swing inward noisessly,
Unlocked by silent fingers;
And while they stand moment half-ajar,
Cleans from the inner glory
Stream brightly through the azure vault afar
And half reveal the story,
